Nigerian comedian and actor, Bright Okpocha, better known by his stage name Basketmouth, said that he would be quitting comedy professionally in five years’ time.

The stand-up comedian revealed this in an interview with Hitz1039fm posted on Instagram.

Basketmouth said, “I’ve just been floating for the past six years and told myself and team that I’ll be coming back to comedy for five years and quit.

“I have planned my life to drop the mic when at 50, though I’ll still be cracking jokes but not professionally. So you could see me doing a gig or promo, but I will not charge anyone to perform again because I have made enough.

“I would say I have made enough by committing myself long enough to the act, and it’s time to take a break or quit and just have fun till the end of time.

“I’m into TV right now, movies, series, and concert production. That’s where I want to start a new journey and experience something new.”

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has stated that controversial singer, Portable, will face more than six charges in court.

Adejobi made this known in a Twitter thread on Saturday, where he explained the difference between the alleged threat by Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo, and Portable’s case.

Responding to a Twitter user, who compared both cases, Adejobi tweeted, “I am sure you are very awake as I have addressed MC’s case, but Portable has more than six count (sic) charges to attend to, apart from resisting arrest and injuring a policeman.

“He will be charged to court for beating up a guy in Otta, who fired a petition to the Commissioner of Police in Ogun.

“There are many pending cases of assaults on people and attacks, and he will be investigated because people have complained against him.

“So, there is no sentiment in law. Let him appear in court and allow the judge to listen to the charges against him. He has no constitutional immunity anyway. Ire o.”

Portable landed in police custody on Friday after resisting arrest a day earlier when policemen stormed his office.

He said he recalled sitting and staring over the ocean not too long ago, “wondering if I could get here again, after all I’ve been through… but with your love & support, we made it. “I’m not sure what comes after this but I wanted to give you my heart, soul and energy. Today I present you “TIMELESS”. “So many people to thank who helped make this happen but first, I must send a special thank you to the strongest woman I know, @thechefchi! “Thank you, thank you, thank you. And to all my supporters – I love you. Now, enjoy! I’ll see you all on road soon!” the music star added. The album features exciting Nigerian and international artists such as Fave, Asake, and Cavemen, as well as British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, multi-Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo, South African singer Musa Keys, and Jamaican Dancehall star Dexta Daps.
